Your guide to Invisalign treatment with our skilled dentists at MSmiline Cosmetic Dentistry
If you have withheld your desire to realign your smile, you are not alone. Many patients in Pierrefonds, Quebec will avoid this conversation with their dentist for fear of being told that traditional metal bracket-and-wire braces are their only way to realign the teeth. Fortunately, a lot has been happening in the field of dentistry, and patients now have another way to get their dream smiles: Invisalign aligners. MSmiline Cosmetic Dentistry is here to educate you on this treatment and evaluate you to see if you are a proper candidate. Let’s take a look at Invisalign and what sets it apart from alternative options.
What are Invisalign aligners?
Our team at MSmiline Cosmetic Dentistry describes Invisalign aligners as clear, plastic trays that are custom-made to fit your teeth and gently straighten them over time. They are a wonderful way of repositioning the teeth without the need for metal bracket-and-wire braces and continue to be a popular alternative to traditional orthodontia.
Are Invisalign aligners invisible?
Almost! They’re made from transparent material, so they’re much less noticeable than traditional braces. Most people won’t even realize you’re wearing them unless you tell them!
Do they hurt?
Not really, but you might feel a little pressure when you switch to a new set of aligners. That just means they’re working hard to move your teeth into their new positions.
Can I eat whatever I want while undergoing Invisalign treatment?
Absolutely! Since you remove your aligners while eating, there are no food restrictions. Go ahead and enjoy popcorn, apples, or even sticky caramel, but just remember to brush your teeth before putting the aligners back in.

How long do I have to wear them each day?
To get the best results, you should wear your aligners for around 22 hours a day. Keep them in all the time except for eating, drinking anything other than water, brushing the teeth, and flossing.
How do I keep them clean?
Super easy! Just rinse them under lukewarm water and gently brush them with a soft toothbrush. Avoid using any hot water, as it can warp the aligners and cause them to be less effective.
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
It depends on your unique smile, but most people finish treatment within 12 – 18 months. Your dentist will give you a better idea of your timeline after taking a look at your teeth.
